Attend an Artists in the Classroom Mentorship Salon
/
Are you an artist with experience or interest in working with young people? Are you looking for ways to connect with like-minded artists in your community? Ever wonder if mentorship might help you advance your career?
ArtStarts in Schools is presenting five Artists in the Classroom Mentorship Salons throughout the province to facilitate dialogue and connections with a diverse group of artists working in a variety of disciplines. Through a series of energetic and thought-provoking activities, participants will share experiences, reframe traditional models and ideate possibilities for building a local community of mentorship for artists in the classroom.
Five salons are being held across the province to contribute to ArtStarts' development of a new project to support artists in the classroom:
